CIRCUITRY TO PERFORM PARTIAL DECOMPRESSION OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18526910 titled 'CIRCUITRY TO PERFORM PARTIAL DECOMPRESSION OPERATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an accelerator with circuitry that can access and decompress compressed data based on calls to an application programming interface (API).

  • The circuitry can decompress at least a subset of the data and output a strict subset of the decompressed data based on certain API calls.
  • The circuitry can also decompress the entirety of the data and output the decompressed data based on different API calls.

Original Abstract Submitted

Examples described herein relate to an accelerator that includes an interface and circuitry coupled to the interface. In some examples, the circuitry is configured to access compressed data, decompress the compressed data, and output the decompressed data based on a call to an application programming interface (API). In some examples, based on a first call to the API having first values, the circuitry is to decompress at least a subset of the data and output at least one strict subset of the decompressed data. In some examples, based on a second call to the API having second values, the circuitry is to decompress an entirety of the data and output the decompressed data.
